[Cialug] OT: Macbook for sale

[murraymckee at wellsfargo.com]

I took my wife and daughter to Israel a couple of years ago and had a wonderful trip.  We didn't have any troubles at all.  Well, no more than getting on the plane here in the US.  Although I was not carrying a computer we were all carrying cameras, film, etc.  And there were those in our group that were carrying laptops and so forth.  None of them had any trouble as far as I know.  I'd love to go again, as soon as I can afford it again.

Well, I guess your only option would be an encrypted usb drive hidden in
a body cavity. 

Personally, as an American, I wouldn't even consider traveling anywhere
in the middle east or to countries with similiar laws.
